Product description
The MQP, developed by Intertek, provides leading suppliers andbrands with a new operating environment, integrates sustainabilityconsiderations with continuous improvement in the qualityperformance of fabric mills
The MQP helps drive much of the complexity and redundancy outof the procurement process
The program employs a unified and standardized approach formill performance measurement in key areas, including socialconsiderations, quality assurance, lab certification andenvironmental sustainability
The MQP has emerged as the perfect tool for evaluating,benchmarking and monitoring mills' performance and ultimatelyensuring improvement
The MQP bridges key sustainability measures with qualityperformance, purchasers can base buying decisions in accordancewith value drivers beyond price
MQP utilizes four core evaluation modules:
- Lab certification: certification of mill laboratorycapabilities and technical inputs for fabric performance testingusing industry-accepted methodologies and standards (i.e. AATCC,ASTM, ERN/ISO)
- Quality performance: evaluation of all stages of fabricproduction, fiber production, processing and spinning, yarnpreparation, weaving/knitting, fabric bleaching, dyeing, printing,and finishing
- Environmental performance: evaluation of mills' environmentalperformance in areas such as waste management, water consumptionand treatment, energy conservation, pollution prevention and energyefficiency, occupational and industrial hygiene
- Social performance: evaluation of compliance with localapplicable laws related to employees' legal rights andprotections
MQP benefits you:
- Enhanced visibility into supply chain performance trends forbetter risk mitigation
- Greater transparency and trust between buyers andsuppliers
- More informed decision-making support based on real timeperformance metrics
- Improved speed to market
- Recognition through an achievement award for top performingsuppliers
